So Long, Solange

I called it my media detox, where I'd seek refuge in a mossy gully and huddle up to a fox.No television, no gossip rags, and most of all no net but a fishing net to catch my dinner.I would emerge from the woods a week later, mentally and spiritually refreshed, a winner.All I needed was a backpack's worth of goods and the desire for reform, something purer.I trekked out on a Wednesday morn, my mind's inner box expanding until it tore apart.Sunshine had found me. Birdsong had found me. And Mother Nature wooed my heart.Until that night I came upon a noisy group of fellow city folk chittering by the cascade. "Solange!" one cried. "Jay Z!" shouted the other. And soon I learned of the leaked video.Nothing could protect me–not memories of marmalade spread on toast in the meadow.That damn celebrity story replaced all gnomes in my head with Beyoncé's angry face.#Solange #JayZ #Beyonce #CelebrityGossip #Drama #TheirFamily Business #AllIWantedWasToGetAway
